TIME TO TIDY UP

ALL THE WAY through this build, we routed as many cables behind the motherboard tray as humanly possible, because this helps with airflow and also keeps the machine looking tidy. It helps that the P9 has plenty of holes to make this a possibility, and there’s a central column of cables that you can easily add to as you go. Having said that, there isn’t that much room back there, and having a solid central bank of cables isn’t possible—well, that’s the excuse we’re using for this not being quite as tidy as we initially hoped for. We could have used a few more cable ties on the power cables, but ultimately it’s a tidy enough build, given we were still trying out different configurations right to the end.
